If you’re feeling down in the dumps this season, have a look at Florida State. That grass is browner. And here’s to wishing former Vol Riley Ferguson success.

Noon slot

SHOOTOUT! I’M 50!

Afternoon slot

My goodness, there’s a lot of interesting shiny objects to look at here for Vols fans. First, there’s the Cocktail Party, between two teams we both want to lose even though it wouldn’t matter. Then there are two big national games, NC State at Notre Dame and Penn State at Ohio State. And finally, two games featuring future opponents and a game featuring UCF, which we’re suddenly interested in for some reason.

Evening slot

Go Vols, and when we’re done, go Yellow Jackets.
